My opinion on the tests taken
The Work Preference Quiz is very useful because it provides us guidelines for our choice of profession. Ultimately, we choose what we want for our lives, but these tests may facilitate the choice.
I agree with almost all the results, but I think we should face them with calm and tranquility. We should pursue our dreams, even if an ability test that says otherwise. With effort and dedication, we can achieve our objectives.
I agree with the first result, because actually I am a person who enjoys new experiences and fixes some problems in different ways. I like the journey along the way until I reach the objectives. I’m also a person who adapts very well to changes and likes new challenges. I am not a control freak but I assume all responsibilities and I like to hear others opinions and share my point of view.
Regarding the fact that I’m a directive person, it is true that I like to organize my time well and my activities. I enjoy working in a team and coordinate work, without boss attitude. I consider myself methodically as needed, because I like to organize things and study the way I like. I don´t like the routine, I prefer to stand up to new challenges.
In the second test, I agree with the results, I´m really an interpersonal and a visual person: I like to mix with other people and also like to play games with friends. I like to see movies, visit art in museums and take pictures. I really like to go the field and be in touch with nature, even suffering a lot with allergies!. Frankly I´m a interpersonal, visual and naturalistic person, but I also love sports and I think the results in that area could have been better.
I was very pleased with the third test, because one of the professions mentioned there is the one I want to follow: Biomedical Engineers. However I’m still quite undecided in the profession that I want to follow: Biomedical Engineers or Pharmaceutical Sciences. On one hand, I like the Pharmaceutical area, because I love chemistry and laboratory work, on the other hand, the area of Biomedicine attracts me a lot, because I can experience and apply what I do in people’s lives, for example: project an implant to suppress a dysfunction.
I have one year to decide and work hard to follow my dream.
Finally, I’m very happy with the last test because it coincides with the area I want to follow: Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. As matter of fact, I’ am a person with more skills in science, than in the linguistic area, so it was easy for me to decide the area I want to follow. It is funny to see the last score, which was Architecture and Construction, because it was what I wanted to be a few years ago.
In my opinion, I passed the test! In a manner of speaking. I'm really happy to see that this test reflects my interests and my personality.
I really liked it has appeared her Biomedical Engineers in the top 5 careers because it is an interest we have in common. I think it fair that she had had good results on all options of the second test, she is a very intelligent person and intellectually evolved, isn't it Daniela ? Filipa Gamas
In my opinion the test that capture better Daniela's personality was the second test, because she is a person that has very diverse tastes, that is why the results are so distributed, and if i had to pick only 3 of the options to describe her, i would as well say nature, picture, and people smart, because i think she is a very outgoing and social person.

I think the tests, in general, showed well the essence of Daniela and their best skills. I also liked when appeared Biomedical Engineers in the top 5 careers, because since I know Daniel, she shows interest in this area. And I am hoping that next year will lead you to make the best decisions possible, because you deserve it.==== Catarina Martins
I wasn't surprised with the results because describe you totally. I think the area of pharmacy is more apropriate for you. Because, you're very good in chemistry and in a lab. Maths? I thought that you didn't like it :|
"I have one year to decide and work hard to follow my dream." - And I think you will realize your dream! Rita CV
I like when you said that you like to work in team, but I don't agree when you said that you like to work in team, WITHOUT BOSS ATTITUDE. I know my way to be in the groups of work, but a believe that sometimes you are equal or worse than me! haha
The most funny person to see movies is Daniela because I like her popcorns and her laughs! It's just like HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Zizi I am not convinced about biomedical engineering being your area, I think you would be a better pharmacist. Carlota
